Catch Her By Her Scent novel Chapter 30

"That sounds about right, my pack is just as bad, only one time they did catch the house on fire, oh I was so mad, if I ever saw one of them in the kitchen after that I told them they had better not be cooking or else I would make them stay outside for the whole week." I told her.

She looked at me with a look of admiration and motherly love. I couldn't help, but think of my mother, she reminded me so much of her. I looked away for a moment so the tears that were trying to break free wouldn't have the chance to fall. When I look back at her she looks a little concerned, but when I give her a smile she returns it and starts getting all the ingredients out for dinner.

"So what are we making?'

"Well I was thinking we could make lasagna. What do you think?"

"That's perfect I love making and eating it, of course I love any kind of pasta or Italian in general."

"Well how about you make yours with me as an assistant, I love learning new ways to cook things." She says to me.

"Sure, but you have to promise that you will make it for me so I can try yours too." I tell her seriously.

"You have yourself a deal." She tells me while I start washing my hands.

I start gathering the rest of the ingredients and I get to work on making the lasagna with Diana helping me. As I am working I notice Diana is frowning a little in confusion, but I decided to ask her later what was bothering her. I finish the base of the dish and pop it into the oven to finish. I go back over to the sink to clean everything off and get plates and silverware for everyone.

"Where did you learn that recipe, Sophia?" She asks me with the same frown on her face.

"It was my mother's recipe, she made it once and then I found the recipe she wrote down so I decided to adopt it as mine too." I tell her.

"Oh, well who is your mother?" She asks curiously.

"Her name was Cara Therian, she died when I was young." I say to her.

"Cara? Do you know her maiden name?" She asks with a bit of sadness in her voice.

"Uhm I believe it was Lake or Late something along those lines. Why do you ask?" I ask raising my eyebrows at her.
